We run DTI on a few different architectures in practice, and the `vendor/cache` directory can be a bit confusing to manage when switching dev machines.
In this change, we add all our common dev machine platforms to the Gemfile.lock, so precompiled gems for all of them are cached, granting us resilience against the possibility of Rubygems going down, and speeding up deploys & installation.
The connection_pool gem changed their API, which caused a breakage in our react-rails gem.
It turns out though, we're not actually using react-rails anymore. It's primarily for React server-side rendering, which we don't do. Our React code is bundled as normal Javascript via our usual asset pipeline.
So, to resolve the gem incompatibility, we remove react-rails altogether. Neat!
Added prominent warnings in multiple locations to prevent accidental
database migrations that would break Impress 2020:
README.md:
- Added critical warning in "OpenNeo ID Database" section
- Highlighted that Impress 2020 directly accesses both databases
- Added warning in "Deployment" section about schema compatibility
- Linked to detailed documentation
docs/impress-2020-dependencies.md:
- Clarified both databases are directly accessed by Impress 2020
- Added new "Database Consolidation Blocker" section
- Documented that consolidation migration is ready but blocked
- Provided options to unblock (retire I2020 or coordinated deployment)
This ensures future developers (including future me!) are aware of this
critical dependency before proposing database schema changes.
Related: feature/consolidate-auth-database branch contains a ready-to-go
database consolidation, but it's blocked on Impress 2020 retirement.

Added critical information about database consolidation blocker:
- Impress 2020 directly accesses BOTH openneo_impress and openneo_id databases
- Any database consolidation must wait until Impress 2020 is retired
- Database migration is ready on feature/consolidate-auth-database branch
but is blocked on this dependency
This ensures we don't accidentally deploy the database consolidation
before addressing the Impress 2020 dependency, which would break
authentication for users accessing the site through Impress 2020.
Updated sections:
- Deployment Architecture: Clarified both databases are accessed by I2020
- After Full Migration: Noted database consolidation is ready but blocked
- Added new "Database Consolidation Blocker" section with details

First actual feature I'm letting Claude run! We worked the exploration of the updated API together, then it ran with the implementation.
I left this hanging for a long time.... good to finally have it updated!
I'm not sure if this is a Mac-only problem or what, but we were getting incompatible-function-pointer errors when trying to build the RocketAMF C extensions. This fixes that! (Maybe it's like, Mac-only but as of Ruby 3.4 in specific? We're running RocketAMF in production on Ruby 3.4 right now without this. Shrug.)
I'm starting to learn how AI agent stuff works, and a lot of what I'm finding is that rushing them into feature development sets you up for disaster, but that having strong collaboration conversations with helpful context works wonders.
So, I'm starting by creating that context: I had a little "here's the codebase" walkthrough conversation with Claude Code, and it generated these docs as output—which came out solid from the jump, with a few tweaks from me for improved nuance.
My hope is that this can serve both as an improved starting point for human collaborators _and_ if I let future Claude instances play around in here. That's a big theme of what I've found with AI tools so far: don't try to get clever, don't expect the world, just give them the same support you'd give people—and then everybody wins 🤞
Just because I'm poking at archiving again, I'm noticing failures when trying to run the `rails swf_assets:manifests:load` job, something to do with an "unacquired resource" with the connection.
Maybe this is a bug that an update will fix? May as well try!
